Sealife SportDiver Underwater Smartphone Housing

SeaLife SportDiver is a compact and lightweight underwater housing for smartphones; the housing is almost 20% lighter than the larger SportDiver Ultra and can hold iPhones through iPhone 17 Pro and 16 Pro Max, and popular "Plus" sized Android models. The SportDiver housing will allow divers to take photos and video with their smartphone down to 130 feet or 40 meters. SportDiver can encase many Android models and all iPhones from iPhone 11 through iPhone 17 Pro (iPhone 17 Pro Max requires SportDiver Ultra Housing). The free SportDiver App is available at the App Store or Play Store, and works with the current and prior generation of the OS. Please review our SportDiver compatibility checker and fit guide.

The heavy-duty housing is constructed of polycarbonate, stainless steel, aluminum and optical grade glass. And while the SportDiver housing is "heavy duty", it is not heavy, weighing less than 1.5 pounds (641 grams), and is lightweight for travelling and offers almost neutral buoyancy in water depending on which smartphone model is used.

The SportDiver is easy to hold and use and offers a large shutter lever and rear control buttons for easy operation, even with dive gloves. Snorkelers and divers can get more creative with their photos or video by using advanced camera settings*. Adjust Zoom, Exposure (EV), Auto/Manual Focus, White Balance, Tint, Lens selection, RAW+JPEG mode, Live Photo and Video Stabilization.

The SportDiver housing includes the free SportDiver app: unlike other smartphone housing apps, there are no annoying in-app purchases or ads. You can easily switch between photo and video mode. The SportDiver App uses your phone's camera technology native to each phone model. The app supports the present and previous versions of OS and is updated according to new versions.

The App Playback mode shows full size photos and videos with a vertical thumbnail strip to easily locate your images. Videos start playing automatically when selected. All files are also saved to the phone's camera roll. The SportDiver housing automatically connects to your smartphone and the SportDiver app using Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) 5 wireless technology. No cables or buttons touch the phone, with ultra-low power consumption for both the phone and the housing, which is powered by two AAA batteries that last over 50 hours of continuous use.

For enhanced imaging results, a removable underwater color-correction filter is included with the SportDiver, which restores natural underwater colors. The filter easily attaches or removes underwater and includes a safety tether to prevent loss. The SportDiver housing features three 1/4-20 tripod mounts which mount to any light or light tray with standard tripod threads, such as SeaLife's range of Sea Dragon underwater photo/video lights.

For the phone's safety and protection, the SportDiver has a sturdy holding spring and rubber grip tabs that securely hold the smartphone in place and add shock protection. The SportDiver has "Dual Leak Alarms" which include an internal moisture alarm and a vacuum pressure alarm that alert the diver with on-screen warnings, audio and LED signal in the unlikely event the waterproof seal is compromised and there is a loss of housing pressure or moisture is detected. The door of the SportDiver is sealed with a TPE O-ring and a robust cam-lock sealing latch that easily and securely locks the waterproof door. To prevent interior fogging from residual moisture, the SportDiver uses the anti-fogging "Moisture Muncher" capsule which prevents fogging and internal condensation.

*Important: Some settings may not be available depending on the phone make/model. Settings may be blocked out or not accessible depending on conflicting settings. Check the App Store and Play Store for SportDiver app updates.
